❝Watching her smile with someone else felt like the bitter echo of a melody I had composed for her alone.❞

You're leaving again tomorrow, our time together slipping through my fingers like sand in an hourglass. I walked you to your car, our conversation light and easy, masking the storm of emotions raging beneath the surface of my calm facade. I wanted to tell you so badly, to bridge the gap between us with honesty and vulnerability, to break free from the chains of fear and regret that have held me back for so long. But the fear of rejection, of losing what little we have left, held me back once more, leaving me to watch as you drove away into the uncertain future that awaits you.
